Well today I took a 160 mile ride in 40 degree rain and wind to fetch a new stator for my 4rt. only to get a call when I was 10 miles away letting me know the computer said they had one that didn't exist. At least I found out before getting in line for Canadian customs.

Dang Brian, sorry to hear that. Good thing ya didn't make it across the border
getting back in some times ain't much fun. I need to check my passport. I haven't seen it since I retired.

Hi Gordy, I was in NM[Albuquerque] in 65 and wished I could have brought my bike with me. Went to a Harley shop and to a flat track race. I think I had the only black car in the state. Pert warm in August. Had snow on the ground this morning when I got up. Your riding area looks very fun and nice pictures also, thanks for posting.

Put my beaten-up old Fantic 307 in the van and went up to replanted forestry area and took on some climbs, and drops. A little creek, and some tracks that have been ripped up by dickheads in 4WDs. A few bits where you're riding blind (long grass), and had a great time for coupla hours. Sweated and groaned, dabbed a lot, and smiled a whole lot more.
Enjoy the Easter break.

Unscrewed the sparkplug and put a little fogging oil in the cylinder again this year. Kicked it over a few times to circulate into ports and seals and move the bearings around. A real shame but this is the end result of the demise of vintage trials in this immediate area.Two years since it ran last and only 3 yrs since a B&J stroker rebuild on this KT255. I should just sell it.

Now I really hate to hear that.

You COULD drag it down here and ride with me and Lineaway in NMTA's new Twinshock class. You would be welcome!

Chris since I started riding ADV/DS bikes I have not used the trials bike. I think I see a correlation here. See what I have been doing on nmdualsport.org . Biggest thing has been the demise of any Eastern component of vintage trials from AHRMA or ITSA anywhere near me. It is a shame that this beautiful running and very competitive bike just sits there gathering dust. I should bring it down all right....to sell it.

Camp and ride with us first, then reconsider. We can be pretty persuasive.

I'm on that site as well, but don't see you there. What user name do you use there?

I use my real name on there. Just posted on the Mogollon to Beaverhead ride report. You need to do that ride with those guys NMTrailboss.....and take Brutus with you to get him re-aquainted with those DS bikes

Ha! I just read that report a little bit ago! Awesome ride! I've done that route and variations of it many times...love that part of the Gila.
Brewtus used to ride DS with me a lot several years ago, but alas...I got him addicted to the trials bug and now he lets his other bikes collect dust. Can't get him out anymore it seems. Doomed to a life of twin shocking a Reflex!

Brewtus and I DSing Moab circa 2007

This is obviously pre-trials!

Brewtus in Jemez - 2007

Brewtus in Valle Vidal - 2008

Sorry to pick on you Chris...just trying to guilt you into cleaning the carb. on the XR!!
